Since
the pioneering eighteen-year (1817-1835) Brazil expedition of Austrian
naturalist Johann Natterer, during which he devoted at least two months
collecting specimens in the region of Curitiba (1820), there have been few
studies involving the avifauna of this
municipal region (435 km²). At least two checklists have been
prepared (1984 and 1993) along with several ecological and behavioral studies
of selected species. However, there has never been a consensus about the number
of species that live in the limits of this city, even though the influence of
contiguous landscapes on its avifauna is obvious and it has significant
evidence of a great variety compared to other places of similar size. This
study is an annotated revision of the species recorded in Curitiba (dead line: December
1^st, 2014), according to the literature, museum specimens and
unpublished data from the authors. Species richness (396 species) includes 389 native species, 7 introduced and
established species, and 24 exotic or accidental species. A total of 24 taxa
with dubious records was revised, and these species remain on a provisionary
list until more decisive information is obtained. This paper is the result of
the efforts of 18 researchers who work in Curitiba and summarizes more than
10,000 records of birds at 150 localities. We hope the paper is useful for
informing conservation efforts as well for use in education and other official
urban management initiatives.
